Street Racing

[fuffl]

The Act also bans driving a motor vehicle on a highway with a connected nitrous oxide system. Some street racers use nitrous oxide to enhance the acceleration capabilities of their vehicles.

I hope this is the language the Canadians used in their street racing law. It's a good explanation to help the judge.

In other words there are knows, then there are known unknowns. Because of not knowing what the unknowns know you can never know what will happen.

The unknowns of street racing makes it a known fact....its going to end bad.

Go to the track.

This is a great point.

If you go out to the track, you've got an environment where people watch from the stands instead of crossing your lane. Rather than dealing with merging traffic, there is only your lane and barriers alongside it. When you finish, you do so at a perfect quarter. The lanes are even and paved. The only danger is that you'll miss a gear as long as you can keep your wheel straight.

When you race on the highway, there are no witnesses to prove you won. Even if you could have won, that car that changed lanes in front of you or the other driver is likely to mess up your victory. You've got to watch for potholes and uneven pavement. There is no finish line, so the other guy, even if you're closing the gap, can pull out in front of you and flash the hazards in victory. There's danger from all sides, and you're just as likely to lose as you are to die. Race at the track.

And I'm sure there has probably been one kid who contested it. "No dawg, I ain't got no 'nitrous oxide system' I'z got me sum nawzz"
